LOUISVILLE – Nobody, and I mean nobody, was happier to see five North Bullitt female runners step out of the van on Saturday morning at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park than Bullitt East head coach Lenny Raley.

Because North Bullitt had enough runners to start the Class 3-A, Region 3 Meet on Saturday, Bullitt East was able to qualify its entire girls’ team for the Kentucky State Championships this Saturday at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

MOUNT WASHINGTON – Breaking in a new starting quarterback on the final night of the regular season is never a good thing.

Just ask Bullitt East head coach Darrell Vincent.

With senior Pierce Kelly out for one game after getting injured the previous week in the win over Shelby County, the Chargers, who already lost Konner Polson for the season with a broken collarbone, inserted junior Matthew Snawder on Thursday night for a battle against Fairdale.

HIGHVIEW – It was a historic night for Bullitt County sports on Wednesday as all three local soccer programs played in the semi-finals of the Girls’ Sixth Region Tournament at Mercy High School.

While all three teams had made the regional tournament the year before, this was the first time all three won opening round games. In fact, it is the first time in any sport that all three Bullitt County schools have reached such a lofty spot in the post-season at the same time.

BARDSTOWN – In the final tune-up for all three programs before the Region 3 meet this Saturday, the area cross-country teams competed in the Mid-Kentucky Athletic Conference Meet at the Bluegrass Expo Center.

The day belonged to Bullitt East as they won both the boys’ and the girls’ titles while in addition Lady Charger junior Sierra Poppell continued her strong season by winning the girls’ race by over a minute. Poppell has moved into the top-10 runners across the state in Class 3-A this season.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – With all the regular season district play out of the way, the three area football teams now know the path ahead of them in the Class 5-A play-offs.

First, the teams get a chance to regroup and fix any late problems with one last regular season contest this week. What works out best is that all three teams will be at home for those games so they can celebrate Senior Night in style.

HEBRON ESTATES – For the second time in three seasons, the North Bullitt Lady Eagles advanced to the semi-finals of the Sixth Region Volleyball Tournament, but the reward is a daunting one.

After winning the 24th District title a week earlier, coach Cecilia Boston’s team was rewarded with a home match on Monday against Doss, a team they had defeated during the regular season. The Lady Dragons put up a fight, but North Bullitt won 25-20, 25-18, 25-19.
